Normal Blood Sugar doesn’t mean everything is alright



New research claims that normal-range sugar results could also mean trouble. Most people don’t bother about diabetes until their doctor tells them their sugar is too high. But, even if you get a normal blood sugar level, it doesn’t mean everything is clear. According to the latest research, if the blood sugar levels are at the high end of normal range, it might still indicate risks of an illness, especially if the patients have other diabetes related concerns, such as obesity or family history.

The cutoff between normal and higher blood sugar levels associated with diabetes can give a false sense of security to many, note experts at Nirmal Singh 3C. A research published in 2013 found that middle-aged people with high-normal fasting blood sugar levels had even worse scores on memory tests and greater shrinkage in a brain region important to memory than those with lower blood sugar levels. If there are high glucose levels, that might damage the blood vessels and also hinder about the flow of nutrients to the brain.

There are other research material which suggests that high-normal blood sugar may increase the risk of heart disease by raising inflammation and making stiffer blood vessels. Cancer is also another growing concern. The reason may be that the insulin that’s pumped out to deal with blood sugar levels also speeds the growth of cells.


In the expert opinion of Nirmal Singh 3C, all adults should be aware of their blood sugar status and make major lifestyle changes when their numbers reach into 90s. An ideal healthy fasting blood sugar is less than 85 and every few points higher than that are associated with more problems, so it is best to take measures early in that stage.



Blood sugar tests should be done every three years starting at the age of 45 but earlier or more frequent tests may be required if you’re from a high-risk ethnic group, or overweight. Experts at Nirmal Singh 3C suggest that increased activity and a better diet can reverse the path to diabetes. There are also beliefs that lifestyle changes have greater impacts than even the diabetes medication and the benefits will endure.

Mosquitoes and the diseases they bring cause a lot of deaths in India. They are one of the most troublesome menaces that monsoon and rains bring in the country.

Bengal, North East, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are considered to have an environment that is favorable for breeding of mosquitoes.

Does Smoking Cigarette Reduce Stress?

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...
